प्रश्न

 What is the effect on the interference fringes to a Young’s double slit experiment when

(i) the separation between the two slits is decreased?

(ii) the width of a source slit is increased?

(iii) the monochromatic source is replaced by a source of white light?

Justify your answer in each case.

उत्तर

 (i) From the fringe width expression,

`beta =(lambdaD)/d`

With the decrease in separation between two slits, ‘d’ the fringe width increases.

(ii) For interference fringes to be seen

`s/S<lambda/d,`condition should be satisfied

Where, s = size of the source,

S = distance of the source from the plane of two slits.

As the source slit width increase, fringe pattern gets less and less sharp.

When the source slit is so wide the above condition does not satisfied and the interference pattern disappears.

(iii) The interference pattern due to different colour component of white light overlap. The central bright fringes for different colours are at the same position. Therefore central fringes are white. And on the either side of the central whit fringe coloured bands will appear.

The fringe closed on either side of central white fringe is red and the farthest will be blue. After a few fringes, no clear fringe pattern is seen.
